Why we open in the evening
Because an eye appointment should not cost you a day of leave.
Students and children
A time that sits outside school hours, which is the usual reason a child’s eye check gets put off.
Carers and family
Bringing a parent or a relative when you are free to come with them, instead of arranging time off.

What you can have done on a Tuesday evening
The same as any weekday at this clinic — the hours are what change, not the service.
- A consultation with the eye specialist — for a symptom you have noticed, a condition you are being followed up for, or a report from elsewhere you want explained.
- Eye screening packages — the optometrist-led packages, including the general eye check-up and the diabetic retinal screening, at our community clinics.
- Eye tests — the tests done on site, such as an OCT scan, eye pressure measurement and a refraction test for a glasses prescription.
- Accidents and eye injuries — a speck of grit, a scratch or a knock to the eye, seen in the evening session.
- Follow-up after surgery or treatment — a post-operative check that would otherwise mean a morning away from work.

Yes. Our Toa Payoh clinic is open until 8.30pm every Tuesday. The Straits Eye Community Clinic @ Toa Payoh runs straight through from 8.30am to 8.30pm on Tuesdays, so you can be seen after work without taking leave.

Do I need an appointment for the evening clinic?
Message or call us first. Evening appointments are limited by the hours, so a time confirmed in advance is what makes sure you are seen that evening rather than asked to come back.
Does an evening appointment cost more?
No. A consultation on a Tuesday evening is charged at the same fee as the same consultation during the day. At our community clinics a first consultation with a Senior Eye Specialist is $130.80 nett and a follow-up is $98.10 nett.
What can I have done at the evening clinic?
The same as any weekday at this clinic: a consultation with the eye specialist, an eye screening package, and the eye tests done on site. What a visit involves depends on what is found at the examination.
Can my child be seen in the evening?
Yes. School hours are the usual reason a child’s eye appointment is hard to arrange, and the Tuesday evening session is open to children as well as adults.
What should I bring to an evening appointment?
Your identification, your glasses or contact lenses, and any referral letter, screening report or list of medicines you have. If a previous clinic has scanned or photographed your eyes, bring that report too — it is what the examination is compared against.
Will my eyes be dilated, and can I drive home afterwards?
Some examinations use drops that widen the pupil, which blur vision and make bright light uncomfortable for a few hours. If that is likely at your appointment we will tell you when you book, so you can arrange not to drive yourself home.
What if I need to be seen and the clinic is closed?
Message or call us and we will arrange the earliest appointment we can. If you have an injury to the eye, a sudden loss of vision, or sudden pain with redness, do not wait for an appointment — go to a hospital accident and emergency department.
